One of the first excursions in Phnom Penh was to the Royal Palace
Later we visited the Central Market that has echoes of a Souk with its close packed aisles and huge diversity of stuff from silver and jewelry to vegetables and every kind if animal part imagineable to T-shirts and traditional garments to electronics and carved wood.
In the afternoon we went off on our own on another tuk-tuk ride around the city and visited Ounalom temple and pagoda (where Annie Marie and I wandered into a small temple and received a blessing (we think) involving chanting, incense, and holy water sprinkled on us with a spray of branches.
